★★★★★Graduate+

📖Definition

For integer n ≥ 3, there are no positive integer solutions x, y, z satisfying xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ.

📐Formulas

xⁿ + yⁿ = zⁿ has no positive integer solutions for n ≥ 3

Fermat's Last Theorem

✏️Examples

예제 1

📜History

Discovered by: Pierre de Fermat (conjecture), Andrew Wiles (proof) (1637 (conjecture), 1995 (proof))

Fermat wrote he had a proof in a book margin; Wiles proved it 358 years later.
